Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'établir une correspondance précise entre des coordonnées d'image et des coordonnées géo-spatiales, appelée calage géo-spatial. Ce système utilise l'imagerie et les informations de terrain stockées dans une base de données géo-spatiale de façon à aligner avec précision une imagerie de référence géodésiquement calibrée avec une image d'entrée, par exemple des images vidéo générées dynamiquement, et à réaliser une identification très précise des emplacements de la scène. Lorsqu'un capteur, tel qu'une caméra vidéo, donne une image d'une scène contenue dans la base de données géo-spatiale, le système rappelle une image de référence appartenant à la scène représentée en image. Cette image de référence est alignée très précisément avec des images du capteur à l'aide d'une transformation paramétrique. D'autres informations associées à l'image de référence peuvent donc facilement être recouvertes par l'imagerie du capteur ou associées à celle-ci.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for concentrating and stabilising conjugated oestrogens from the urine of pregnant mares on solid supports in order to obtain a suitable starting material for producing pharmaceuticals that contain the natural mixture of these conjugated oestrogens as the active component. The inventive device is characterised by its suitability for practical, decentralised concentration and stabilisation of mixtures of conjugated oestrogens (CE) contained in the urine (PMU) of pregnant mares on a solid support (= adsorbent), especially in the proximity of the stable or field, in a column or a cartridge. The adsorber columns can be filled directly at the site of urine collection with the device. As a result, it is no longer necessary to transport large quantities of urine liquid daily to a central processing point. The filling process can take place continuously over a longer period of up to several weeks, until the adsorber column or cartridge is saturated. The leftover urine that runs off remains at the site, where suitable devices for disposal are already available. Only the filled column or cartridge is transported and the transport can take place at longer intervals and take longer, e.g., up to a few weeks. The excellent stability of the CE on the adsorber ensures that there is no risk of decomposition.

Abstract: A method and system for processing a silicon thin film sample on a substrate.  The substrate has a surface portion that does not seed crystal growth in the silicon thin film. The film sample has a first edge and a second edge. An irradiation beam generator is controlled to emit successive irradiation beam pulses at a predetermined repetition rate. Each of the irradiation beam pulses is masked to define a first plurality of beamlets and a second plurality of beamlets, the first and second plurality of beamlets of each of the irradiation pulses being provided for impringing the film sample and having an intensity which is sufficient to melt irradiated portions of the film sample throughout their entire thickness. The film sample is continuously scanned at a constant predetermined speed, so that a successive impingement of the first and second beamlets of the irradiation pulses occurs in a scanning direction of the film sample between the first edge and the second edge. During the continuous scanning of the film sample, a plurality of first areas of the film sample are successively irradiated using the first beamlets of the irradiation beam pulses so that the first areas are melted throughout their thickness and leaving irradiated regions between respective adjacent ones of the first areas. Also during the continuous scanning, each one of the first areas irradiated using the first beamlets of each of the irradiation pulses is allowed to resolidify and crystallize. During resolidification and crystallization of the first areas, a plurality of second areas of the film sample are successively irradiated using the second beamlets of the irradiation beam pulses so that the second areas are melted throughout their thickness. Each of the second areas partially overlaps a respective pair of the resolidified and crystallized first areas and the respective unirradiated therebwetween.
